Serves: 16
Ingredients:
Butter, for greasing pan
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1½ cups vegetable oil
¼ cup orange juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups peeled and finely chopped sweet apples
1 cup chopped pecans
Glaze:
½ cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup sugar
½ cup buttermilk
½ teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Generously grease a bundt pan.
For the cake: in a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, orange juice, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract; and mix well. Fold
apples and pecans into batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1½ hours.
Shortly before the cake is done, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large saucepan, stir in the sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda, and bring to
a good rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the hot cake in the pan as soon as you remove it from the oven.
Let stand 1 hour, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
